M. Maumy et P. Capdevielle, CHEMICAL EVIDENCE FOR PEROXY-RADICALS INTERMEDIACY IN COPPER(II) REACTION WITH HYDROPEROXIDES, Tetrahedron, 49(34), 1993, pp. 7455-7462
Two unprecedented decompositions of tertiary hydroperoxides by Cu(II)
in CH3CN have been encountered : deoxygenation of 4- hydroperoxy cyclo
hexa 2,5- dienones 1 and 2 brings chemical support to the existence of
intermediate peroxy radicals R-00. 1' and 2'.
